Käsmu cycling trail (11.6 km)

The rocky beaches force bikers into the forests on the peninsula—you can catch glimpses of the sea on the Palganeem cape and between Kõrgekalda and Palganeem, Järvekael and on the trail between the lake and the sea.

The Käsmu peninsula in Lahemaa has such rocky shores that this cycling route mostly keeps to the forest, with the sea showing only at Palganeem cape, at Järvekael and on the stretch between Lake Käsmu and the sea. That makes it a quiet ride far from traffic. The loop is 11.6 km, or 16 km with the out-and-back spur to Palganeem. On the way you pass the Matsikivi erratic boulder, Eru bay, Lake Käsmu and the captains' village with its cemetery and chapel. There is no free campsite in Käsmu; the nearest is at Võsu.
